Motion sensor conection to servo

Former Member

I am a beginner now with programming and building but i really want to complete this project i am working on right now. I want to know how to connect the motion sensor to the servo so that when the sensor detects something, the servo will spin 90 degrees in one direction

    Hi carl,

    I am beginner myself but have thought of the same application a while back.

    I take it that you want to connect some sort of surveillance equipment to the servo.

     

    What are you using a pic micro?

    i suggest writing a subroutine with the way point or area that the servo must move to when the motion sensor detects motion.

    just remember to get a "home" position for the servo to return to after "surveillance" or required action was done. this will definitly simplify your program I suppose.

    and make it versatile to adding other motion sensors.

     

    a micro controller will definitly make your project a bit easier and more adaptable to other apllications that you might want to add on. like remote control to the servo etc...

     

    Or alternatively

    hope it helps a bit
